UNSPSC 10318111: Fresh cut pincushion tango protea

Fresh cut bloom of the pincushion tango variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318111 Fresh cut pincushion tango protea is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no solicitations for fresh cut flowers or protea products. Instead, the opportunities reflect mismatched tagging: Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas is soliciting catalog discount bids on a broad range of educational activities and supplies; Los Alamos County, New Mexico is seeking contractors to design, install, and maintain hanging flower baskets (live plants in baskets, not cut flowers) with a valid nursery dealer license required; the City of Dallas is purchasing plants (potted or containerized live plants) with new, unopened stock in original packaging; and DeKalb County, Georgia posted an unrelated ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction at a tennis center. None of these solicitations align with fresh cut protea flowers. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities tagged to it do not reflect the commodity's actual scope.

Given the mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and the actual work posted under it, this code does not represent a viable procurement avenue in state and local markets at present. Firms seeking to supply fresh cut protea flowers to state and local governments should verify whether their target jurisdictions use a different UNSPSC code for floral products or conduct direct outreach to parks, recreation, facilities, and event-planning departments without relying on this code's recent activity.
